George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor, from left. (CNN) It's time to have a talk about "The Talk." For generations, black parents have given the same lecture to their children: Don't act out. Stay away from bad places. Avoid confrontations. It's a how-to guide for surviving police encounters, a list of do's and don'ts every black person should follow if they want to avoid being brutalized or killed by police officers or other white people. But after the deadly confrontations we've seen in recent weeks, what exactly should black parents be telling their kids now?   Don't resist police. That advice didn't appear to help George Floyd , the black man in Minneapolis who died this week after a white police officer put his knee on Floyd's neck while arresting him. Floyd had called out for his mother while gasping, "I can't breathe." Surveillance camera footage does not appear to support the ...

 A riot is the language of the unheard Some quotes by Martin Luther King Jr. are remembered widely, often evoking  the tenets of love, peace and unity in the quest for justice. But amid nationwide protests spurred by the killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, a 1967 speech by King at Stanford University has become increasingly resonant. The "Other America"' speech was recently shared on Twitter by the King Center, the organization set up by Coretta Scott King to honor her late husband. In the speech, King emphasized his support for nonviolent tactics in the "struggle for freedom and justice" and expressed his disapproval for riots, referring to them as "socially destructive." King, however, argues that worsening economic and social conditions that black Americans experience must be condemned as equally as riots. It is here he invokes the line: "A riot is the language of the unheard." Here's part of the sp...

Conor McGregor has accepted a "super-fight" challenge against Anderson Silva, a record-breaking former UFC middleweight champion. The prospective fight arrives days after McGregor, a comfortable lightweight, caused uproar on social media after saying he was tied as "the No.1 MMA goat" — short for "greatest of all time." McGregor ranked Jon Jones as No.4, Georges St. Pierre as third, then placed himself alongside Silva, sparking great debate amongst his 8.1 million followers on Twitter. It wasn't long before Silva saw the post, and challenged McGregor to a "super-fight" to be contested at 176.37-pounds, which is between the welterweight and middleweight limit. "I have immense admiration for the great athlete that Conor is and I believe that a super-fight would go down in the history of the sport," Silva said Wednesday on Instagram . "Neither of us need to prove anything to anyone," he added. "I bel...

Jeffrey Epstein was an American money manager and registered sex offender. In August 2019, he died in jail, which was ruled a suicide.       Who Was Jeffrey Epstein? Jeffrey Epstein was a New York-based financier with high-profile ties to the world's ultra-wealthy and powerful. Accused of sexually abusing many underage girls, Epstein was finally caught and charged for soliciting a minor for prostitution in Florida in 2008 and became a registered sex offender.

While awaiting trial, he was found dead in his jail cell on August 10, 2019.

The Minneapolis police officer seen kneeling on the neck of an unarmed black man heard saying "I can't breathe" multiple times before he died was a 19-year department veteran who was the subject of a dozen police conduct complaints that resulted in no disciplinary action. The officer, who was praised for valor during his career, also once fired his weapon during an encounter with a suspect, records show. The officer, Derek Chauvin, and three fellow officers were fired Tuesday from the Minneapolis Police Department, one day after the incident involving George Floyd, whose cries of physical pain were recorded on a cellphone video and whose death led to a wave of violent protests Wednesday night in Minnesota's largest city. Minneapolis police identified the other officers as Thomas Lane, Tou Thao and J. Alexander Kueng. Related: To be the subject of a dozen complaints over a two-decade career would appear "a little bit higher than normal," ...

Four Minneapolis police officers have been fired for their involvement in the death of a black man who was held down with a knee as he protested that he couldn't breathe, officials said Tuesday. The FBI is investigating the incident, which drew widespread condemnation of the officers after a video showing part of the encounter circulated on social media. Mayor Jacob Frey said the technique used to pin George Floyd's head to the ground was against department regulations. After several minutes of pleading with an officer pressing a knee to the back of his neck, the man appeared motionless, his eyes shut, his head against the pavement. Content by CNN Underscored The comfiest pants for lounging around the house With the anxiety and distress you may be feeling, wearing clothes that are in any way uncomfortable is simply not an option.

A New York City woman was caught on camera calling the police on an African American man at Central Park, falsely claiming that he was threatening her life. The man initially asked the woman, Amy Cooper, who he did not know, to leash her dog in an area of the park that did not permit them to walk untethered. Police did not make any arrests. Cooper later apologized and was also put on administrative leave by her employer. In Tuesday's "What to Watch" segment on "CBS This Morning," Gayle King, Anthony Mason, Tony Dokoupil and Vladimir Duthiers reacted to the incident.
